2009's Fiercest Fashion Rivalries


Two famous ladies wearing the same dress is the best—who doesn't love a good old-fashioned fashion face-off to the death?! And fortunately for us, 2009 had plenty of big names sharing dresses.

Remember when Pink and Shakira wore the same Balmain dress to the MTV VMAs? So embarrassing! Usually when the famous ladies wear the same thing they're at least attending different events. We were almost disappointed the two pop stars were actually cool about the whole thing and posed for photos together.

Will Charlie and Brooke Split...Eventually?

If Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller do reconcile, it won't be for long.

At least that's what a source close to the situation tells us.

"Brooke's been wanting a divorce for at least two months, but she was holding out until Charlie signed a new contract [for his sitcom]," the source says. "She thinks she can get more money."

Despite both camps' publicly stated desire to reconcile, our source suggests, "They'll get back together temporarily, but it'll end in divorce."

Sheen has been "doing some soul searching" to figure out what he wants to do next, according to the source, but "everyone around him is telling him to get out of the marriage."

As for Mueller negotiating for hush money, the source says she's trying to get their prenup thrown out. (Mueller's lawyer insisted to E! earlier today that financial discussions have not taken place.)

Plus, says the source, Brooke has "something else on Charlie" but declined to give specific details.

AT&T Drops Tiger's Calls…Permanently

Someone over at AT&T finally realized that a man made infamous for his marriage- and career-decimating naughty text messages may not be the best person to front your cell phone service plans.

As a result, the communications giant has become the third sponsor to sever all ties with Tiger Woods, adding to a list that already includes Accenture and Gillette.

Not exactly the best news with which to ring in the New Year.

No official explanation was given by the company for their withdrawal of support, though, to be honest, no official explanation is necessary at this point. But if it's a reason Tiger's after, we can think of about 12 billion of them.

Among other things, the business split means that when—and if—Tiger returns to the green, he'll be doing so with some new gear. AT&T's logo has long graced the side of Woods' golf bag, and the company has been the title sponsor of an annual PGA tournament that Woods hosts. And Jessica Simpson gets invited to.

OK, that last one might not be such a loss.
